The heartening thing though is that this is how it started in the UK as well....so hopefully it will grow. It seems to me that SA has a particular interest in fair trade because the whole issue affects Africa so much.2muchstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17697143513179855546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894602777674410907.post-65801203253753318912009-05-07T04:05:00.000-07:002009-05-07T04:05:00.000-07:00I must say, the whole 'eco-friendly' initiative se...I must say, the whole 'eco-friendly' initiative seems to be far more pervasive in Europe/UK than here in SA. For instance, in our grocery stores there are almost no indications of eco-friendly and fair trade products, and our online shopping os hardly main stream. I guess in time we will eventually catch up, but will it be soon enough?Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199953423399936083noreply@blogger.com
